The two of them were trapped in the afterlife for more than ten days, and finally left the afterlife. They were both happy and terrified, as if they had woken up from a ridiculous dream.
If it weren't for the suicide note left by Qin Yu in later generations, they might not be able to leave until they die in later generations.
After returning to the previous time and space, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s great to have cultivation in your body.
At this time, white lights flashed one after another, and they turned out to be flying messages received by Li Xi.
Almost all were from her mother and uncle.
Li Xi simply replied without mentioning what happened to him in later generations.
"You did the right thing. This matter of future generations must not be leaked casually." Jiang Yao said, "But it cannot be completely concealed."
Such a big matter is related to the life and death of the real world and the interests of every monk. How can you hide it and not report it?
Is it just up to two people to change history? What if two people can't change it?
In other words, if Jiang Zhengyi is disturbed and Zhang Zhengyi appears again, what about Liu Zhengyi? If Jiang Zhengyi is defeated, no one else will take his place and do the same thing as Jiang Zhengyi?
It would be impossible to completely conceal such a big matter.
However, we can't make it known to the whole world and make people panic. Who knows how many troubles will arise. First of all, Jiang Yao and Li Xi will face huge troubles.
What's more, if more people know about it, Jiang Zhengyi and Concubine Canyao will also know about it, and those forces that caused the true world to become mortal will also know about it, so how can they change history?
If you want to change history and save the real world, you must first not let Jiang Zhengyi, Canyao Fei and other forces know about all this.
Otherwise, Concubine Canyao, Jiang Zhengyi and others will also be prepared.
Therefore, this shocking secret can only be known within a small area. It is necessary to ensure that the people who know the secret must be the enemies of Jiang Zhengyi and Concubine Canyao.
In this sense, even his mother and uncle, Li Xi did not dare to talk about them.
"Junior Brother Jiang, do you think who can speak and who cannot speak?" Li Xi is indeed a very smart woman. Once faced with such a major event, she will definitely stand for the overall situation of the real world.
Because this is also related to her path.
It is impossible for the true world to become mortal for no reason. Someone must have deliberately harmed it for their own benefit.
Moreover, she was also sure that there would be very few beneficiaries of the transformation of the real world into mortals, probably only a few people. Even if she took refuge with her aunt, the benefits would not be hers.
But she can't escape the harm. How to choose?
Even if Jiang Zhengyi is her cousin and Concubine Canyao is her aunt, they cannot change her position.
Jiang Yao sat down, thought for a moment and said, "Right now, no one can believe it. Anyone may stand with your aunt and cousin in the future, and anyone may be Jiang Zhengyi's descendant."
"This person is my half-brother, but I know almost nothing about him. The less I know about a person, the harder it is to predict, and the more careful I have to be."
"But there are a few people who need to know this secret. These people must be rivals of Jiang Zhengyi."
Li Xi said: "Junior Brother Jiang, do you mean to tell only Pan Kang, Yu Kuan and Hai Huanhuan?"
Jiang Yao nodded: "Yes, I can only tell these three people. Because according to the information left by Qin Yu, these three people, including me, are the leaders of a country who will compete with Jiang Zheng for the world in the future."
"These people are all lucky, and they are absolutely unwilling to surrender to the sudden appearance of Jiang Zhengyi. They know the secret, and they can keep it secret, and they can also change history with a greater possibility."
"Jiang Zhengyi and Concubine Canyao must be hiding a huge mysterious force, and they may be a joint force. Moreover, their plan must have been prepared for a long time, and they may have secretly grasped the situation."
"Only when a few people disrupt the situation together can it be possible to completely destroy their momentum and disrupt their arrangements."
Jiang Yao also has another meaning, which is to let Pankang and others be wary of Jiang Zhengyi in advance and contain Jiang Zhengyi, firstly to change history, and secondly to reduce their own pressure.
He doesn't know who the "Night King" is who killed him, he doesn't know who the "Sun, Moon and Stars" are who betrayed him, and he doesn't know who the "Emperor of Heaven" is, but he probably has something to do with Jiang Zheng's direct wife, Concubine Silkworm Yao.
"I will not tell my uncle and sister, nor the Jiang clan members." Jiang Yao took the initiative to express his position.
Li Xi also expressed his position: "Okay, I will not tell my parents, grandpa, and uncle. However, in order to increase the power to change the situation, one person should know."
"You mean Qin Yu?" Jiang Yao smiled, "Yes, he really should know. His suicide note is still with me, and he will definitely believe that I didn't lie to him."
Li Xi frowned: "I know that Yu Kuan will definitely believe what you say, but what about Pan Kang and Hai Coral? Why would they believe us with such a ridiculous secret?"
Jiang Yao sneered: "If they don't believe it, they are not Pankang and Haihuo. Only when they judge that it is the truth can they be Pankang and Haihuo."
Li Xi smiled "hee" and said: "What you said really makes sense. Then it's settled, only tell these people, and no one else except these people."
The two of them reached an agreement on this important matter, which made them feel a lot more relaxed.
After discussing this matter, Li Xi immediately used elixirs to replenish her energy and blood. The wound on her heart also healed quickly, and she soon recovered as before.
Jiang Yao is checking the black and white square stone sent by King Panju of Chu.
At that time, he only had the cultivation level of a warrior and could not sense what the black and white stone was. But now, although his cultivation level had recovered, he still could not sense what it was.
One can only feel that these three-inch square black and white square stones contain extremely ancient and mysterious Taoist charms.
This, what on earth is this? Why is it so advanced?
Jiang Yao felt very strange, but even though he was using his consciousness with all his strength, he couldn't sense the origin of this thing.
"Huh?" Li Xi, who had healed his injury, looked at the black and white square stone. After scanning it with his spiritual consciousness, he discovered something was wrong.
"Junior Brother Jiang, there is an ancient restriction of the Witch Clan on this stone. The restriction is so high that it has not failed in the mortal world for thousands of years."
"You are not a Witch Clan, and you don't have a Witch Clan bloodline. It's normal for you not to be able to sense the Witch Clan's restrictions."
Li Xi said as he took the black and white square stone, tried hard to sense it for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Is this a ban imposed by the ancient witch? My witchcraft skills are not bad at all, and I can't even touch the edges."
Jiang Yao understood.
"Senior Sister Li means that only by lifting the ancient witch ban on this place can we feel what this is?"
Li Xi nodded and said: "Yes, according to my understanding of the Wu Clan's ban, it is almost like this. The black and white square stone we see may not be the true appearance of this object. Maybe after the ban is lifted, the truth of this object is not at all
An ashlar stone."
"But I am sure that this thing must be an incredible treasure, with a very high level." Li Xi said with envy.
Jiang Yao became even more interested: "Then, according to Senior Sister's knowledge, how can this ancient witch ban be lifted?"
"Hee." Li Xi said plainly, "You are overthinking. Such a high-level ban on ancient witches, even ordinary witch saints and powerful people, I'm afraid most of them can't undo."
"Your uncle is a martial arts great sage, and your master is a double great sage. They may be able to solve it. As for you... at least not now."
Jiang Yao chuckled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Senior Sister Li, you also know that I am a kind-hearted person who values affection and justice. As long as Senior Sister Li treats me as a friend, I will definitely be happy."
What he means is that as long as you keep it secret and don't betray my ginger medicine, I won't let you suffer.
Li Xi frowned slightly and said with a wave of green eyes: "Okay, I still don't know what you are thinking? Don't worry, I, Li Xi, am not that miserable. I have a strong balance in my heart, and my eyes are very clear."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, both knowing what they were doing.
After this encounter, the two of them became much closer. At least they had a foundation of mutual trust, and they definitely had a close friendship.
Jiang Yao carefully put away the strange black and white square stones and headed south with Li Xi.
The direction rules of this strange deep mountain are still chaotic.
After spending another whole day working, I still couldn't find the right direction.
"What on earth is this place? The further we go, the more we go wrong." Li Xi couldn't help but feel frightened. She was not too unfamiliar with the geography of the Witchland, but she had no idea what this place was.
There are so many deep mountains and ancient ridges in the Witch Territory, which are known as millions of mountains and forests. Many places are inaccessible and mysterious places that even the Witch Clan themselves don't know about.
At this time, the two came to a mountain col and found a path paved with stone slabs, hidden in the grass.
After Jiang Yao pushed the grass aside, he discovered that it was a very wide bluestone road. Moreover, it seemed that this road was very old and should have existed a long time ago.
How come there is such a road in such a place?
Jiang Yao looked forward along the road. The original route of this road led to several peaks in the distance. Those peaks were very different from the other peaks. They were not taller, but more lush, which looked a bit strange.
Li Xi pondered and said: "This road must have been quite big before, but no one has walked on it for many years. I don't know who built it. There are some ancient cities and villages in the Wuyu Mountains."
Jiang Yao's curiosity started to flare up again, and she said, "How about we go take a look, maybe we can find something, and maybe we can find the right direction."
Li Xi didn't object, she also wanted to find out.
After the two walked along the foot of the mountain for dozens of miles, Jiang Yao discovered the stone statues on both sides of the road. The stone statues had fallen into the grass and were covered with moss.
After walking for a while, we turned around a mountain pass and saw a collapsed stone wall.
It really is an ancient city in the mountains.
Jiang Yao should walk in first.
Inside the mountain pass is a basin, surrounded by mountains. Dilapidated wooden buildings stand quietly in the sunset. There are at least hundreds of them, and more have collapsed. An extremely desolate and silent atmosphere fills this place.
A space.
"It's really an ancient city." Li Xi said.
The two released their spiritual consciousness and carefully walked into the ancient city. They could still vaguely see the streets and alleys.
The wooden buildings that did not collapse were as dead and silent as haunted houses. They were covered with dust, and the corridors were covered with weeds and shrubs. As for the fallen ones, only piles of rotten wood and stones were left.
Jiang Yao used his spiritual sense to explore and said: "This building has been abandoned for at least 30,000 years."
Thirty thousand years is not too old in the real world, but for some reason, it feels very old here.
No, it's not ancient, but an indescribable feeling of desolation.
"Sure enough, there is something strange." Jiang Yao frowned and said, "This largest ancient building can actually swallow spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness is swept in and is almost blocked."
It was getting dark gradually. It was a dead city rather than an ancient city. There was not even a sound around.
Jiang Yao's consciousness was very strong, but he could only see the corridor inside, and could vaguely see a few figures standing motionless in the gloomy corridor.
There must be something weird here. In fact, this is not surprising. In such an ancient and desolate place, it would be strange if there is no weirdness. And it is so hidden here that few people from the outside world have been there.
Jiang Yao said, "I'll clear the way." After saying a hand gesture, he pushed open the door.
"Clang--" with a sound, the rotten but still heavy door fell inward, making a dull sound that echoed in the empty deep building, which seemed a bit startling.
Immediately afterwards, a puff of dust was stirred up, and at the same time a putrid smell hit his nose.
This is a hall. Although it is covered with dust, you can see that the furnishings inside are very luxurious. But this is nothing, mainly on the ground. You can see many bones on the ground, and there are dozens of skeletons at a glance.
Jiang Yao looked at the bones on the ground and suddenly discovered that these bones died at different times. He pointed at a skeleton and said:
"This person will not have been dead for more than a thousand years." Pointing to another skeleton, he said, "Look at this one, he has been dead for five thousand years. These dead people did not come in at the same time, but they all died here."
It stands to reason that when the two saw these bones, they knew that this place was ominous and should leave immediately.
But who are these two people?
Of course they would not back down so easily. Otherwise, would Dao Xin still be there?
It was already dark, and my spiritual consciousness was blocked, making it even darker inside.
If it weren't for Jiang Yao, I wouldn't have been able to see what was at the end of the corridor.
There are exquisite murals on both sides of the corridor, and there are tung oil lamps in the walls, and the oil has long turned into a ball of black mud.
This corridor is dozens of feet deep, and at the end there are a few people hanging from the ceiling, with their toes on the ground, as if they are hanging in the air, or standing on the ground.
In short, hanging is not like hanging, standing is not like standing, and the posture is extremely weird.
Looking at such a posture, it might as well be looking at hanging. Jiang Yao was also a little surprised. He thought it was a few dead people standing on the ground before, but he didn't expect it to be in such a posture.
All four of them were women. Their hair was long and hanging down, and there was an iron hook hooked around their neck, which was connected to an iron chain and fixed to the top wall.
After tens of thousands of years, their corpses have not rotted and are well preserved. The expressions on their faces are not distorted, but are extremely plain and natural. It seems that the hook is not hooked on their necks, but it gives people a more...
fear.
"What does this mean?" Jiang Yao approached a female corpse and looked at it carefully, and Li Xi couldn't help but look at it.
The two soon discovered a detail: the four female corpses looked exactly the same.
Four twin sisters died together in this way?
"The four of them look exactly the same. They should be twin sisters. Is there any explanation for this?" Jiang Yao felt very strange, "They should have been hooked here after death."
Li Xi's expression changed slightly and she said: "I once heard a story about the Witchland, but I don't know if it has anything to do with this place."
Seeing Jiang Yao listening carefully, Li Xi said with a faint look:
"Many years ago, there was a very mysterious small tribe in the mountains in the Wu Territory, called the Nuo Li tribe. The Wu tribe was called Nuo people. The Nuo Li tribe lived in a city in the mountains, and the leader of the tribe was called Nuo Jun."
"Nuo Jun took four twin sisters as concubines and doted on them very much. Every time Nuo Jun entered the harem, he would see the four sisters coming to the door to greet him. There was never an exception."
"But one time, Nuo Jun didn't even see them coming out to pick him up. Nuo Jun was so angry that he killed four of them and hung their bodies on the walkway at the door. This way, he could see them greeting him every time he entered the palace."
Jiang Yao felt a little nauseous. What this Nuo Jun did was beyond description cruel.
Especially when listening to this story in front of four dead corpses, it feels even more unusual. Maybe these four female corpses are the parties involved.
Li Xi continued: "Who knew that after the four people died, strange things happened in the city. People died tragically every night, sometimes dozens died in one night, and everyone was very scared."
"Some people say that the four sisters turned into powerful evil spirits. They asked Lord Nuo to bury the four of them, but Lord Nuo didn't care."
"More and more people died in the mountain city and the palace. Many people and their families died, but Nuo Jun didn't care. The remaining people couldn't bear it, so they fled from the mountain city one after another. In the end, Nuo Jun was the only one left."
Jiang Yaozheng heard this and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Immediately afterwards, a tapping sound suddenly came from inside. The sound was very clear, like the sound of human footsteps.
A dark figure suddenly walked out from inside, and under the firelight, this person's face appeared very clearly.
Jiang Yao and Li Xi were both very comparable in character and courage. But when they saw this man, they both felt a little frightened.
This man's clothes were not only neat, but also very gorgeous, and he even wore a gold-embroidered hat on his head. But there was no sense of luxury in his whole person. On the contrary, his face was extremely weird and sinister.
.
Why? Just because he is too old.
I can't really tell, but at first glance, he looks horribly old.
Even a mortal centenarian looks as young as a child compared to him.
His whole person was filled with an ancient aura, and seemed to be integrated with everything around him. Of course, his face was still a human face, but his eyes were like an old mountain spirit, full of evil wisdom.
"Nuojun? I didn't expect you to live for so long. I'm very surprised how you did it."
Jiang Yao has already sensed that this frighteningly old person is actually tens of thousands of years old. Even the great sage only has a lifespan of about 6,000 years at most. It is simply strange that he can live to tens of thousands of years.
This extremely old man stared at Jiang Yao quietly with eyes like ancient wells, and suddenly spoke:
"How do you know me?" His voice was also very vicissitudes of life, and his accent was a little strange, and he spoke very elegantly and could be understood.
He turned out to be a true Nuojun!
Lord Nuo didn't wait for Jiang Yao to speak, and asked again: "It has been thirty thousand years, and you are the only one who has spoken to me."
Jiang Yao could not have imagined that she would be the first person to talk to him in thirty thousand years.
Thirty thousand years. Even an Earth Immortal would definitely not be able to live for that long. Unless he "died" like Li Xixia and lived for tens of thousands of years before waking up again.
But this person is obviously not like Li Xixia, but has always been alive.
How come he didn't go crazy after not speaking for so long and being here alone?
Jiang Yao sensed that he had a strange power, which carried an unspeakable danger.
But now, even if they want to leave, they may not be able to leave.
"Then I'm really honored." Jiang Yao said with a smile, as if he didn't take Nuo Jun seriously.
Nuo Jun's eyes actually showed an incomparable loneliness, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and he said slowly: "Do you really want to know why I can live for so long?"
"Is it related to those four women? I have heard some legends." Li Xi was genuinely afraid of this person, but with Jiang Yao's presence, she became more courageous.
"Hoo hoo ho..." Nuo Jun let out a burst of laughter that was not like a human being, "The deeds of my people back then have been passed down to this day? Do you even know about it?"
This is an admission that the people and things in the story are really here.
"You don't know my deep meaning." Lord Nuo shook his head and said, "Because of the fate of you talking to me, I can tell you the reason. For thirty thousand years, I have never complained or been unhappy."
Lord Nuo didn't care whether they were willing to listen or not, and said slowly: "I killed four sisters for not welcoming them and hung them up in the palace. Everyone thought that I was ruthless, but they didn't know that there was a reason for the matter. I didn't know that it was just my excuse.
"In fact, each of the four sisters has a life-swallowing worm in their bodies. What is rare is that their life-swallowing worms were born from the same mother. The four of them are twin sisters, and the life-swallowing worms in their bodies are also born from the same mother.
And by the time they died, the life-swallowing Gu worms had already developed."
"This voodoo can be fostered in the body of a destined person. It will be warmed by the owner's essence and blood first. When it grows up, it can absorb other people's essence and blood to feed back to the owner, so that the owner can live longer."
"I slowly waited for the life-swallowing worms in their bodies to mature. They never imagined that I have mastered such a profound poison as the "mother-child life-swallowing worm"."
"The owners of the four worms are twin sisters with the same essence and blood. If the mother worm eats four of these worms, it will turn into the life-swallowing god Gu, which can extend its life. Do you know what the life-swallowing Gu means?
"
Devouring God Gu!
Li Xi's whole body trembled when she heard these four words.
This is a poisonous insect in ancient legends. It is said that it can be used to achieve immortality and immortality.
Moreover, ancient books say there are other reuse functions.
Extremely precious! Infinitely valuable!
Jun Nuo continued: "When the worms in their bodies matured, they were summoned by me using the mother worm. All their essence, blood and vitality were in the daughter worms. As soon as the daughter worms came out, they would die."
"So I found an excuse to hang them in the corridor. Firstly, I loved them so much that I couldn't bear to bury them. Secondly, I made the subjects fearful and protected me from arresting people to feed the divine Gu."
"After feeding with a large amount of blood essence, I finally successfully refined the longevity-devouring divine Gu. As for whether this city is abandoned, what does it matter?"
"But what I didn't expect is that I can no longer leave here. As soon as I leave, the divine Gu will escape from my body."
""I finally understood that after the mother worm devoured the four daughter worms, the four sisters had too much resentment when they died tragically. Their resentment turned into a poison and poisoned the mother worm's mind."
"The mother insect swallowed the body of the child insect, but the resentment on the child insect poisoned its consciousness. Therefore, the obsession of the god Gu is unwilling to leave here, because its owner died here."
"In this way, I can't leave, so I have to stay here for 30,000 years. It's like a prisoner. It's really lonely."
When words like this come out of his mouth, it makes people feel chilled in their hearts. What does it feel like to not be able to leave this place for 30,000 years?
You have worked so hard to obtain such a perverted means of immortality, but what is the point of living like this?
Jiang Yao sneered: "Then do you regret it? Not only can't you leave here? Your cultivation level has also dropped a lot because of the extension of your life, right?"
"Also, your method of longevity violates the rules of heaven, so your spiritual veins have been nirvana, your blood has been poisoned, and you will suffer endless pain every day, right?"
"You are no longer a human being, but a monster."
Jun Nuo stared at Jiang Yao, did not answer the question, and said with a grin:
"Hahahaha... If I eat you, I might be able to delay it for a while. Well, this girl insists on getting it. It's not bad. I really can't bear to eat it."
After Lord Nuo finished speaking, the entire ancient building became dark and filled with his eerie and strange smile!
